I'm Allison Robicelli.

I've done a lot of things, and I've been pretty darn great at most* of them.

How I work

  1. I dig.

    History, culture, and the people nobody thought to ask. I go way past the brochure.

  2. I find the angle.

    The story only you can tell, and the one nobody else can steal.

  3. I make people care.

    In print, onstage, on screen, wherever your audience is hiding.

Let's start digging

The short version

I've spent my whole career figuring out how and why things are the way they are, then making people care about it. In newspapers, on TV, onstage, and for brands and places that wanted the world to pay attention.

The long version

Seen in

The Washington Post, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Eater, The Infatuation, CNN, NPR, The Takeout, TODAY, New York Magazine, Fast Company, Food Network, VH1, and press on six continents.

Where to next

  1. 01SpeakingKeynotes, panels, and workshops. Live, laugh, love, learn, and have a damn good time. Usually in that order. (Crying is optional but encouraged.)
  2. 02ConsultingI find the story only you can tell, the angle that gets you noticed, and the magic you didn’t know you had. For destinations, brands, and everyone in between.
  3. 03WritingFood is culture. Culture is history. I write about all three, and every so often, urinals. (Highly important American treasures! Trust me on that!)
  4. 04BooksFour books: bestselling, critically acclaimed, and occasionally suplexed.
  5. 05The Onesta AgencyI founded The Onesta Agency to pair students with professional journalists for college essays and theses. Real writers, honest work. OnestaAgency.com ↗
